How to port RancherOS to MIPS64? #3027

Open beckhuang1226 opened 3 years ago

I have a board with MIPS64el architecture. I want to port RancherOS to it. What should I do? Is there a simple instruction manual?

Rancher OS is EOL from Rancher side #3000 but I'm trying to build up community to keep it alive. Please share your use cases on https://github.com/rancher-os-community/os/issues/6

Also I'm not familiar with mips64 devices at all so it would be nice if you can tell some dev/debug device on reasonable price range.

Rancher OS is using quite old 4.14.x kernels but I'm working on v5.9.x branch to get latest kernels working. I "mips" architecture files to that one too but looks that cross compile fails so it will need some extra work or development platform on mips64 device.

Also it you are seriously thinking about OS port (which will need a lot of work) then you probably can be one of the maintainers https://github.com/rancher-os-community/os/issues/2 ?

PS. Docker is very critical part of Rancher OS so you probably also want follow discussion on https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/41007 ?
